32,767 is the max for width as well. If there are enough columns it is possible that the DataGrid is rendering a group that exceeds this limit and hence the error. The DataGrid works around the limit when rendering rows, but not when rendering columns.
I suppose a quick test would be to create a DataGrid with 330 columns that are at least 100 pixels wide and see if you get the same error. -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps On Mon, Aug 8, 2022 at 12:36 PM Ralph DiMola via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Paul, > > The max height of a field is 32,767 pixels.
